This article listed several reasons why an infant or toddler bites such as exploration: infants and toddlers do not always understand the difference between gnawing on a toy and biting someone, teething: infants do not truly understand the difference between chewing on a person or a toy, cause and effect: infants and toddlers discover that when they bite someone, they get a loud scream of protest, attention: biting is a quick way to become the center of attention - even if it is negative attention, independence: biting is a powerful way to control others, imitation: sometimes children see others bite and decide to try it out themselves. Frustration: at times, when little ones can't find words to express their feelings, they resort to hitting, pushing, or biting, and stress: biting is one way to express feelings and relieve tension. The article also mentioned ways for parents or caregivers to manage or handle biting when it occurs, such as prevention and teaching new behaviors. It also mentioned documenting biting by using the Who What Where When and How Method to pinpoint the problem. When did the biting occur? Who was involved? Where did it happen? What happened before or after? How was the situation handled? Why Children Bite

EXPLORATION - Infants and toddlers learn by touching, smelling, hearing, and tasting. If you give an infant a toy, one of the first places it goes to is the mouth. Tasting or "mouthing" things is something that all children do. Children this age do not always understand the difference between gnawing on a toy and biting someone.| TEETHING - Children begin teething around the ages of 4 to 7 months. Swelling gums can be tender and can cause a great deal of discomfort. Infants...

...Have you ever been hurt by someone’s words? Words can’t hurt is a controversial statement. Being criticized for your intelligence, race or even where you live, can hurt you physically or emotionally. When I was little, people would tell me I was fat and ugly. I often felt like a symbol (word, sound or visual device that represents an object, sound, concept, or experience) trapped around referent (thing that a symbol represents). I didn’t feel welcome around a certain group of kids. However, my teachers and family would tell me the exact opposite and say words cannot hurt me, but in reality, they did. I thought (mental process of creating an image, sound, concept, or experience triggered by a referent or symbol) everyday would be a better day at school because some people would be positive towards me, but before I changed my lifestyle it was wishful thinking. Going to school every day was fun most of the time until someone had to say something cruel. I disagree with the statement words can’t hurt, because they do. Why do people say words don’t hurt, and how exactly are people hurt by those negative remarks?
If words don’t hurt, then why do African-Americans get mad when called “negro”? All through middle school, I was called “rat boy” for some odd reason. One person told me it didn’t matter because I didn’t have to listen to them. It was hard to do this...

America’s Drug Addiction
Kathryn Bigerow’s film The Hurt Locker portrays America in a heroic way, but what messages is it really trying to get out to people? Certainly a movie promoting the American Military could not have a negative say on the country, or could it? Behind the scenes of this film are some very powerful and arguably true statements made about the United Stated of America.
The film takes place in modern day Iraq with a rowdy cowboy bomb diffuser as the protagonist. This hands on; do-it-yourselfer portrays traditional American values. Get work done now and ask questions later, if you have to get your hands a little dirty then so be it. In fact, that’s how the main character wants it to be. Instead of relying on the technology that has been said to save lives in combat, he chooses to take the risk and do things himself. Staff Sergeant James is his name, and he is on a three man EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) team. The other two members of his team, after recently losing their previous team leader, are skeptical to go all out into combat unless it is absolutely necessary, while James throws on his protective gear and walks straight down a street to find and disarm the next bomb. James can be argued to be a symbol for America itself, a gung-ho fearless warrior. But not everything portrayed by him is good. In the film, James loves being in Iraq, he loves the adrenaline rush and he...

Hurt Locker: An Addiction To War
The Hurt Locker can give almost anybody the nerves with its numerous suspenseful moments. But what lies inside all the tension filled scenes is a much deeper meaning. Kathryn Bigelow stresses an important message in this Oscar-winning epic. Although the film depicts the gruesome horrors of war, Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker is not an anti-war film. The Hurt Locker is a film about James’s addiction to war because it shows his desire tension risk filled scenes, his lack of resentment for the war, and his inability to integrate himself back into “normal society”
It is clear from the beginning of the movie that it was going to be filled with intense tension-filled scenes of diffusing bombs. This only escalated with the Introduction of Sergeant James as the new bomb tech. One can tell immediately that James is an adrenaline junkie that is willing to take risks. It is evident in all of the bomb scenes that Bravo Company encounters. In the first scene he refuses to let the bot diffuse the bomb because he would rather do it himself. His love for high risk is intensified even more by throwing down a smoke can and the face-off he had with the cab driver. His love for risk is verified again when he diffuse the car bomb with no bomb suit on. Even the small things that he does like taking down the...

...The Hurt Locker and PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is an anxiety disorder that runs through our military system and is often vastly overlooked. It is a little-known mental health problem that is poorly understood. It can be traced back to the times of the Civil War and has been given names like shell-shocked syndrome, PTSD, soldier's heart, and combat fatigue. A soldier who has experienced combat or military exposure of any level of severity can be susceptible to this anxiety disorder and its symptoms. The Hollywood film The Hurt Locker, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, depicts the American soldier’s battles with PTSD and shows how drastic its effects can be. There is a whole other world between life on the battlefield and life on the home front.
PTSD began to turn up on the public's radar in the past decade due to the growing numbers of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans seeking treatment for the illness. Victims of PTSD do not show any physical problems, which is often why family, friends, and military personnel can overlook the disorder. Returning veterans often show signs of PTSD by isolating themselves from friends and family, spending a lot of time alone, and using alcohol or drugs to cope with the emotional pain. Bad memories of the traumatic event haunt the victim and make them think, "why can't I function right now" (The Soldier's Heart"). In recent years, with US invasions in the Middle East, the military is facing scrutiny...

...Nail Biting
Do you constantly find yourself biting your nails off for no reason at all? Or have you ever thought about the damages caused by nail biting? Many people do not realize and know that there are medical affects and explanations for nail biting. Adults usually do not find themselves with this bad habit because nail biting is most common among kids and teens but mainly more within guys than girls. However regardless of gender or age nail biting can lead to unwanted consequences caused by stress, nervousness, or hunger.
Unwanted consequences mainly consist with dental complications such as the chipping of your teeth. For most people, chipping a tooth is the only negative effect that biting your nails might have on your teeth. In fact, the book Pediatric Dentistry by Pinkham states: There is no evidence that nail biting can cause dental change other than minor enamel fractures. Nail biting can also cause a gap between your two front teeth. If the nail biting habit begins when the child is very young, it has been reported to cause a gap between teeth. In addition causing gaps between your teeth can cause the roots of your teeth to become weaker. Nail biting during braces has been shown to cause root resorption. Last but not least nail biting can cause gingivitis. For example in the case report of a...

...Nail biting is quite possibly one of the most common bad habits that affects the population. 30% of children, 29% of adults, and 44% of teens are estimated to be frequent nail biters. Not only does biting nails ruin your teeth, but they can have significantly detrimental effects on your health over time. With such a staggering numbers of people in need of assistance, here are five very simple steps to overcoming your infirmity once and for all.
Decide you are sure that you wish to quit biting nails, and stick with it. It is next to impossible to quit doing something if you want to keep doing it. By deciding to quit nail biting, you admit that a problem exists, and you want to get rid of it.
Reduce the number of situations that make you feel like biting your nails. Studies have shown that most people bite their nails when they are under stress, anxious, bored, hungry, and they occasionally do it without noticing. Identify when you feel tempted to nibble, and avoid the situation(s) as often as possible. Having limited the situations of your bad habit , you will think about it less frequently and thus lower the temptation to chomp down.
Avoid putting your hands near your mouth at all times. Not only will you avoid exposing your mouth to copious amounts of microbes and bacteria ( think about all the doorknobs you turned, tables you touched, and handshakes you gave), but you also are physically...

..."Love Hurts" is a song, written and composed by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. First recorded by The Everly Brothers in July 1960, the song is also well known from a 1975 international hit version by the rock band Nazareth and in the UK by a top 5 hit in 1975 by Jim Capaldi.
The song was introduced in December 1960 as an album track on A Date with The Everly Brothers, but was never released as a single (A-side or B-side) by the Everlys. The first hit version of the song was by Roy Orbison, who earned Australian radio play, hitting the Top Five of that country's singles charts in 1961. A recording by Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons was included on Parsons' posthumously released Grievous Angel album. After Parsons' 1973 death, Harris made the song a staple of her repertoire, and has included it in her concert set lists from the 1970s to the present. Harris has since re-recorded the song twice.
The most successful recording of the song was by hard rock band Nazareth, who took the song to the U.S. Top 10 in 1975 and hit number one in Norway and the Netherlands. In the UK the most successful version of the song was by former Traffic member Jim Capaldi, who took it to number four in the charts in November 1975 during a 11-week run. The song was also covered by Cher in 1975 for her album Stars. Cher re-recorded the song in 1991 for her album of the same name....

...How do at least two of the following production elements combine to engage audiences with what is occurring one scene or sequence of the narrative you have studied.
Scene 6 escalates the growing tension between James and Sanborn through sound and camera work. The audience assumes that the situation is extremely dangerous at the beginning of the scene due to the air raid siren sounds and the long shot establishing the evacuation of the UN building. This chaos is further emphasised by the shaky camera and the stressed voice tones in the dialogue of Sanborn and Eldridge. The audience’s tension is then released by James’ sigh as he puts out the burning car fire.
The chaotic tension between the team members and their interrelationships is highlighted by the quick, hasty shots between the three as they attempt to access the bomb. The audience is further involved in this scene even more so, being positioned as the fourth team member, often by shots through the scope of a gun and through the bomb suit mask. By involving the audience, Bigelow is able to further engage the audience with the relationships between the characters.
Bigelow makes the audience on edge during this scene through the highlighted breaths and sighs of Jeremy Renner. The sighs are often used to release tension between the characters and the audience, in particular when Renner defuses the bomb and he receives his adrenaline rush. Renner also exhales heavily when searching the car for the bomb, emphasising...
